Time Chamber In DxD

Chapter 44

CLASH!

Silence...

*Smile fades*

With the old sage stopping his hard-earned victory, Igor frothed at the mouth.

"?#$^ !"

Igor watched Sun Wukong with a deadly gaze. It had been a few minutes since his victory had been stolen from him. Even though Atid had been rendered unconscious before his last shot, the blonde was still sour about not being able to get that last hit in. The perfect climax had been ruined for him by the old monkey who was prodding his unconscious friend with his staff.

Sun Wukong whistled as he turned towards the blonde.

"You really did a number on the poor little brat."

"..."

Instead of immediately replying, Igor lied down with a sigh.

"Monkey sage. What brings you here?"

With the battle having ended unsatisfactorily, all Igor wanted to do at this point was sleep. He barely had any energy to cuss out the old sage at this point with most of it having been sucked by the Kaioken. The appearance of Sun Wukong just served to make him even more tired and unwilling to have any long conversations.

Naturally, Sun Wukong noticed and didn't waste time.

"I've come to you with another offer. Indra is impressed with your talent and he acknowledges your wish not to be directly incorporated into the army. So how about this. In exchange for you continuing to fight on our side, I will personally train you for the foreseeable future. You get stronger, and we get more wins on our side. You are free to walk away at any time. We will not bind you to us. So, what do you say, kid?"

Igor sat up and crossed his legs. He supported his chin with his hand and stared at the monkey in disinterest.

Yet within that gaze, clear signs of skepticism were visible.

"What can you teach me?"

Sun Wukong was undeterred. He already guessed that the blonde must've had some sort of teacher or training manuals on his person. Otherwise, there was no other believable way that Igor got this strong and knew such advanced techniques without external help. So he knew that if he wanted to trigger the blonde's interest, he must arouse him with something practical.

And he just so happened to know where the blonde currently lacked.

"Aura sensing. You're much better than the average person in sensing aura, but you're terrible in my eyes, not even worth squat. Once I'm done with you, sensing for someone across the entirety of Earth will not be a problem."

Sun Wukong had watched the fight between Atid and Igor. He noticed how the blonde always wasted precious time whenever he initiated teleportation. Furthermore, his style of locking onto an energy signature was too blatant that even Atid was able to feel Igor latch onto his lifeforce like an anchor. Although the brunet was a bit too slow to counter, he could brace himself for any attacks that came his way.

Sun Wukong knew that if Igor did not improve on his aura sensing, his signature technique would end up being fatally countered in the future. He could already imagine a scene in the future where Igor tries to attack with [Instant Transmission], only to suddenly get impaled without knowing how.

Not wanting to see such a future happen, he continued explaining.

"For us who are sensitive to lifeforce, we can feel when someone latches onto it. For instance, if you were to try and teleport next to me, I can guess at what side you will appear based on where my lifeforce feels 'dragged' the most. Then all I'll have to do is stick out my staff at the spot where you'll appear and...you're impaled."
